Could a game have summed up supporting Arsenal better than that?

Promising start, not converted -- opposition later punishes.

In-form player with glass ankle -- injures ankle.

Defensive mix-up leads to freak own goal against run of play.

Goalie's injury during mix-up means he must be replaced by third-string (second string -- injured, of course).

Tactical inflexibility leaves us looking bereft.

Pouring forward recklessly we are caught out by someone who was wounded us repeatedly in the past.

By all rights should have been 3-0 down -- superstar misses regulation chance.

Wondrous late goal by a sub gives us a ray of hope.

Game peters out courtesy of blatant time-wasting.

And this all against a historical foe, at home, in a game that we thoroughly dominated.
